Alex Cook Health

Introduction: Hey there, I get it, life happens. Before you know it years have gone by and you've tried every diet and exercise plan in the book. Had some progress but gained more weight. It's a vicious cycle isn't it? But it isn't ALL your fault. You've tried right? but the information is confusing and overwhelming and you haven't REALLY learned anything that will help you long term...You've mostly been told by your trainer to "lift this and that for this long and this many times". You know that much but why isn't it sticking? Lets discuss... My name is Alex Cook and for the last 10 years I have helped hundreds of people make meaningful change in their life through mindset practice as well as diet and exercise. My coaching is not geared toward the weekend warrior looking to drop a few pounds but rather the person who is willing for true change and transformation in their life, health and fitness. In working together you can expect to: -Have a better understanding of who you are and how to make real change in your life! - Clarity on how to navigate through whatever obstacles life presents you. -Develop a way of eating that is sustainable for you and your goals, the last diet you will ever need! -How to eat to reach your goals, personal preference and unique physiology! -Understand the truth to the biggest myth in the wellness industry that calories in vs calories out are all that matter. -Learn how to utilize the 4 different eating habits all people have and don't know it. -Exercise in a way that will yield you the results you want without spending 60-90 minutes in the gym everyday. - Accountability to help you towards your success and support in achieving your goals long term! - Use of my custom made app where you can access individualized workouts and coaching specific to your goal for 24/7 support! And of course much more. I have worked with people from all walks of life from business owners, corporate executives, CEO's, Emmy nominated producers and TV show hosts to stay at home mothers, fathers, you name it. One thing they all have in common is they all have a busy life and a lot on their plate. Making things convenient, doable and sustainable is the foundation for success. True change takes a lot of work and my coaching is definitely NOT for someone who isn't willing to put in the effort. At the same time I believe putting in the effort doesn't mean it has to be hard. I'm here to help navigate you through the process and make sure you are making progress each step of the way, because lets be realistic here; if it was a workout plan and a diet you were looking for then you could Google your way to that information. In creating real change in life the quickest most efficient way is to work with someone who can help you make progress. Common Misconceptions on Losing Body Fat: MYTH: If I just had someone to push me in person 3x a week I'd see the progress I want and lose body fat. TRUTH: You may have heard that you can't outwork a bad diet and that is true. What is also true is that you don't need a trainer or coach standing next to you barking orders. You simply need accountability and a plan for success. The truth is there are 168 hours in a week and working out intensely with a trainer for 3 or 4 hours a week will NOT get you the body you want. It is true that exercise is a piece of the puzzle but your fat loss driver is going to be diet and your ability to manage your stress, hormones and lifestyle. MYTH: If I eat less and exercise more I will lose the weight I want. TRUTH: While that may work in the short term it will NOT work long term. Most dieters take this approach and it also why 96% of diets fail and 66% gain all the weight back. Your metabolism will compensate for the huge caloric gap that is produced. For example if you consume 1200 calories but are burning 2200 calories you are in a deficit of 1000 calories. Sounds good right? until your metabolism gets stressed and compensates in the form of bad sleep, unpredictable energy crashes, increased hunger and food cravings and moodiness (hangry?). Try staying on a diet with all that, good luck. Balancing your metabolic hormones while being in an effortless caloric reduction is key to sustainable long term results that you are after. I get it, it is NOT easy to navigate all the information out there and it can be very frustrating not getting the results you want. To get a new result you have to be willing to do something different. Nothing new happens in the familiar habits and routine. You may seek out what you THINK is going to help you and what you think is going to get you over the hump. For a better future you must be willing to step into something different and that often means something unfamiliar and new.... My coaching is for you if: -You are open minded and ready to do some self exploration -You are coachable: You are willing to work and take direction and guidance. -You are highly motivated and willing to take immediate action! - You are looking to develop a lifestyle that will give you the life you want. - You understand the importance of personal development in changing your habits. - You are looking for hands on custom made coaching and accountability. -You are NOT looking for a quick fix and then instant relapse after working together. -You have tried on your own, and you have tried with other coaches but have always regressed to your old habits. I am happy you have taken the time to read this far and I would be even happier to help you navigate this next part of your journey. I look forward to connecting with you soon. -Alex Cook
